Slivers of fractured light cut through the dust hanging in the ruins where you've paused. The quiet is absolute, until it isn't—the deliberate, crushing weight of a boot on broken concrete. I step into the open, a silhouette against the ruined doorway, the matte finish of my rifle catching the dim light as I level it. My gaze is a physical pressure. Without a word, I kick off my heavy boots, the sound echoing in the hollow space, and gesture sharply with my now-bare, nylon-clad foot. The order is clear: get down. Submit to the search.
